What do writers want more than anything in the world? Time to write. Yet even if such precious time could be found, it's not always easy to settle into the writing groove. Meditation can help synchronize mind and body in a way that truly supports the creative process.
In addition to plenty of personal writing time, quiet, and the supportive (but non-intrusive!) presence of other writers, the program will include meditation instruction and practice and journaling exercises. In the evenings, we will meet for moderated, friendly discussion of each other's writing.
Open to writers of fiction and non-fiction, published and unpublished. Bring your ideas, works-in-progress, or simply your wish to devote attention to your creativity.
The retreat begins after dinner on September 18 (please join us for dinner at 6:30) and ends with lunch on the 25th.
It is traditional for students to offer a monetary gift to the teacher in appreciation for receiving
the teachings, and in recognition of the years of training and understanding the teacher has cultivated.
There will be an opportunity to offer a teaching gift at the program.
